Chip Timing
Your official time will be recorded by a highly accurate electronic device (B-Tag) which is attached to your runner bib number. The B-Tag must be worn properly from the start to finish in order to receive an official finish time. Do not remove the electronic device from the bib. You must attach your bib to the front of your apparel before the start of the race. The timing device must be worn only by the participant to whom it was assigned.
To ensure the most accurate results possible, make sure that:
- Race bib is clearly visible on the front of your torso
- Race bib is unaltered and unmodified (Do not fold or wrinkle)
- Race bib is pinned in all four corners
- Race bib is not covered (jackets, runner belts, water bottles, etc.)
How Does It Work?
Your B-Tag is registered with your information (name, age, gender, etc.) As you move across a special mat at the starting line, the B-Tag registers that you’ve started the race. Your time will be registered again at the 10k/5k split on the course, and then again at the finish. Be sure you cross over each of these special mats.
Chip Time Vs. Gun Time
All AGE GROUP results and awards for the 2023 race, will be based on your “chip” time which is electronically recorded by your B-Tag. For the overall top 3 finishers in both male and female categories, in both the 5K and 10K, we use GUN time.
